Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1547 Yusei VS Xyz
You Xuan already understood.

ZONE summoned him primarily to share intelligence. Both sides share the same interests regarding Zorc, so even without being asked, Yu Xuan would naturally seek an opportunity to eliminate this troublesome figure.

After all, this trouble is a ticking time bomb for both Yu Xuan and ZONE's dimension. If it's not resolved, they'll be forced to passively wait for the other side to come knocking, posing an unstable threat to everyone.

"I understand, I'll go and check it out," You Xuan said.

“Wait a minute,” ZONE said. “Although I can no longer travel with you now, we can still provide you with the maximum technical support if you want to travel between dimensions.”

"Thanks." You Xuan smiled and did not refuse.

Nominally, he was still a member of Taiyi. Although he was essentially a hands-off manager after leaving, and the leadership of Taiyi was returned to the original Taiyi Third Emperor, theoretically, he had not been dismissed from his post.

Having technical support from the ZONE team should be quite useful; it's probably top-tier logistical support in the entire multiverse.

“Also, there’s one more thing,” ZONE said, “Bring Yusei Fudo along.”

You Xuan glanced sideways: "You Xing? Is there no problem? This dimension still needs him, right?"

Although Yugen only glanced at the situation in this dimension, he could roughly deduce that the timeline of the Synchro Dimension had reached the later stages of the 5DS anime storyline. It should currently be a period of intense battles and climactic events, and Yusei, as the protagonist, should be extremely busy.

“There’s no need to worry about this dimension; we can put it on hold for now,” ZONE said.

Yu Xuan thought about it and agreed. Although 5DS was quite busy in the later stages, the main threats came from Taiichi and ZONE. As long as ZONE stopped the WRGP match and then slacked off for a while, it would be possible to manually free up time for Yusei.

“Since you left, Fudo Yusei’s evolution seems to have reached a bottleneck,” ZONE said. “Of course, that’s normal. After all, he has already reached the realm of the King, and it is very difficult to make further progress from here.”

Throughout history, those who have reached the level of the Duel King have been extremely rare, though not entirely nonexistent. However, to surpass the King's level and continue advancing is an exceptionally rare feat, even among the Duel Kings of each era.

You Xuan understood: "Do you want You Xing to leave this dimension with me and seek a new opportunity for evolution?"

“Yes, it would be difficult for him to make any further progress if he stayed in this world. I hope he can become stronger before our final showdown,” ZONE said.

Yugen could understand ZONE's mindset. The battle with Yusei was the final act of ZONE's life plan; regardless of the outcome, ZONE would likely perish after the fight. Naturally, he wanted to see Yusei advance further while he was still alive.

It's fair to say that ZONE has gone to great lengths to help Yusei grow.

“And now that Fudo Yusei has become a king, he should be a powerful asset to you,” ZONE said.

“Okay,” You Xuan readily agreed.

There was naturally no reason to refuse. Yusei was indeed an excellent asset, and Yusei's deck still had unlimited potential for improvement in the future, which Yugen was also very interested in.

If Yusei encounters challenges and evolves in another world, he might be able to print new cards, which would be good for everyone.

After saying goodbye to ZONE and obtaining the location of Youxing from ZONE, Youxuan headed straight there.

Still piloting the D-Wheel, he flew directly to the location indicated by ZONE. From the air, Yugen could see Yusei from a great distance.

Just then, Yusei had already gathered with his teammates from Team 5DS. And standing in front of them was none other than the last remaining member of the Xyz Dimension and Mr. Kokoro's group of four, and also the strongest under Kokoro, Semimaru.

In the original anime, ZEXAL fought against two opponents, including Yuma Tsukumo and the redeemed III, and even gained the upper hand at one point. He is considered one of the strongest among the humans in the Hyperion.

But at this moment, Semimaru is questioning the meaning of life.

"Mr. Kokoro... is dead?" Semimaru asked in disbelief. "How is that possible? There's actually someone in this dimension who can defeat Mr. Kokoro."

At this moment, Yusei D-Wheel stopped in front of him and shouted, "Is it you? The one who spread those strange cards and stole the peace of our city?" The power of the Red Dragon reacted, and the power of the Dragon Seal guided him here.

"what?"

Semimaru looked at him and said coldly, "A duelist in this world? Interesting. You seem to have some incredible power as well. Perfect. After I deal with you and take this power to offer to Lord Senzoku, he'll probably be happy."

His gaze lingered for a moment on the glowing dragon seal on Yusei's hand, then he unfolded the Duel Disk: "Come on!"

"Alright!" Yusei jumped off the D-Wheel and also unfurled his Duel Disk. "No matter who it is, I will never forgive them!"

"Duel!" x2
[Yusei, LP4000]

【Cicada Maru, LP4000】

"I'll go first, draw!" Yusei went first and drew a card. "I Normal Summon 'Supreme Warrior', in Attack Position!"

The warrior has a mechanical body, but his appearance is like that of a steel Arhat, with a thick rosary hanging around his neck and a heavy iron staff in his hand.

This is also one of the warriors that Yusei often uses in the early stages of the game.

[Top Warrior, Attack Power 1800]

"Set one card face down, and the turn ends."

After finishing his formation, Yusei carefully observed his opponent.

“This guy is the one who brought those strange monsters called ‘NO.’ and uses an unknown summoning method called ‘Xyz,’” Yusei thought. “If this person is the source of these cards, then he will definitely fight with even more powerful Xyz monsters, and there might be duels beyond our imagination.”

Yusei clenched his fist.

In short, we must not be careless.

"My turn, draw a card!" Semimaru said. "I Normal Summon 'Oil Cicada' from my hand!"

A giant cicada flew out of his monster card, flapping its wings rapidly. The cicada's entire body was covered in an oily substance, and it spontaneously combusted the moment it landed, engulfing the entire cicada monster in raging flames.

[Oil Cicada, Attack Power 1000]

“Then, if you control a face-up Attack Position Insect-Type monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand,” said the Cicada King. “Special Summon ‘Dream Cicada - Howling’ from your hand!”

The second creature to appear was a cicada monster with horns and sharp, pincer-like forelimbs, its entire body radiating an eerie and ominous aura.

【Dream Cicada - Howling Cry, Attack Power 300】

"Now the preparations are complete!" Cicada King laughed heartily. "Then I'll stack the Level 3 'Oil Cicada' and 'Dream Cicada - Cry' on top of each other, and the two monsters will form a Superimposed Light Network for an Xyz Summon!"

Yusei's heart tightened: "Overcharge? An unknown summoning method, is it coming?"

Semimaru: "Appear, No. 3! Awaken from your long slumber and sing the triumphant song of hell—"
